MIAMI -- When the Utah Jazz (6-4) invade AmericanAirlines Arena on Saturday night, they will be looking to beat the Miami Heat (2-5) and put an exclamation point on what has so far been an excellent road trip.When the Jazz left home a little more than a week ago, they were a .500 team at 3-3. But they have since gone 3-1, including an 87-74 win over the Orlando Magic on Friday night.Saturdays game will be Utahs fifth in seven nights.You have to be mentally tough, Jazz shooting guard Rodney Hood told the media. This is the end of the trip. We have to be smart and focused.An interesting aspect of this winning road trip is that most of it has been accomplished without starting point guard George Hill, who is second on the team in scoring (20.4) and first in assists (5.0).Hill has missed the past three games due to a sprained right thumb, and the 30-year-old veteran was the teams key offseason acquisition.Dante Exum, a 6-6 Australian and the No. 5 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, has been starting in Hills place, although his numbers this season are modest -- 6.3 points, 1.7 assists.Fortunately for the Jazz, 6-8 small forward Gordon Hayward just keeps getting better -- he has led Utah in scoring in each of the past three years. This season, he is leading again, averaging 25.7 points.Hood, a 6-6 former Duke star, is also improving. He averaged 8.5 points as a rookie, 14.5 points last season and is at 17.9 this year. Derrick Favors (10.6 points, 7.6 rebounds) is a solid veteran at power forward and is capable of more -- he averaged 16.4 points last season.Rounding out the Utah starting lineup is 7-1 French center Rudy Gobert, who is nearly averaging a double-double -- 9.3 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks.Gobert, who will be a restricted free agent after this season, should have an interesting matchup on Saturday against Heat center Hassan Whiteside, who got paid this past summer.Whiteside, who signed a four-year, $98 million extension with Miami, is averaging 17.9 points and 14.7 rebounds -- monster numbers.Still, Whitesides heroics are not enough for the Heat, who are on a three-game losing streak. The skid could have been six in a row had Miami not escaped with an overtime win over the Sacramento Kings.Whiteside stated what is pretty obvious, that there has been a talent drain on the Heat and that losing Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh off of last seasons team has hurt him in particular.With D-Wade, I never had to work on it, said Whiteside, explaining that his former teammate would often feed him lobs that led to easy dunks. He just saw it.Whiteside is still putting up impressive numbers -- he had 20 points and a season-high 20 rebounds on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls. But the lob dunks arent there as much, and Miami lacks the perimeter shooting to make teams pay for sagging and doubling on Whiteside.If teams collapse on Hassan, we have to be ready to make a play, said Miamis Justise Winslow, who could be emerging as a point forward. We would love to get Hassan lobs. But we have to read the defense and take what they give us. We cant force.Perhaps Saturday is the night the Heat break out of their slump. After all, the Jazz, who have former Heat forward Joe Johnson as part of their bench brigade, have talked openly about fatigue setting in at the end of this trip.Weve played a lot of games, Hayward said. It feels like weve been on the road for quite a while now. Nike Sb Shoes Discount .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas coach Charlie Strong is keeping his big secret until game day.Strong on Monday declined to say will start at quarterback when the Longhorns face No. 10 Notre Dame on Sunday in their 2016 season opener, declaring only that he already knows who will it will be. His choices are freshman Shane Buechele or senior Tyrone Swoopes. The only thing he will promise right now is that both are going to play.Buechele was the standout during spring practice but Swoopes has starting experience over the past two seasons.Its a critical decision for the third-year coach who is 11-14 after two seasons and facing intense pressure to turn the program around and get Texas back to a bowl game.The decision has swirled around the program for months, yet Strong kept deflecting about a dozen quarterback questions in his weekly news conference. He laughed as they became more repetitive.He also sent some mixed signals. Strong said both Buechele and Swoopes will play, but one of them will be the clear starter.Kind of.When we name the QB he is our starter and he will be our starter, Strong said, unless he gets beat out.And then theres the experience factor. Strong loves to praise Buecheles work ethic as a young player, using the basketball teerm gym rat to describe his passion for the game.ddddddddddddhen he notes that as a freshman, Buechele hasnt been here in the spotlight of a nationally televised game between two storied programs.Swoopes has. It didnt go well.After starting most of 2014 when Texas went 6-7, Swoopes beat out Jerrod Heard to the earn the start in the 2015 season-opener at Notre Dame. Texas lost 38-3 and Swoopes lost his job and didnt get it back until Heard got injured late in the season as the Longhorns finished 5-7.Texas hired new offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert, giving all the quarterbacks a fresh start. Buechele made the most of it by enrolling early and participating in spring drills. He emerged -- at least publicly -- as the favorite to start this season with 299 yards passing a pair of touchdowns in one half of the spring scrimmage.But clearly Swoopes has done enough behind closed-door practices to make a case to be the senior starter.Strong said his team will know who the starter is this week even if the fans dont.We really have no idea, linebacker Malik Jefferson said. We go to practice every day and see both.
